Managements Role in Players Being Violent

Managements Role in Players Being Violent Jennifer Grant BUS/ December 3, 2012 Dr. David Snow Managements Role in Players Being Violent When sports first started up they were meant to be something fun, to relieve stress, and teach youth about working hard, time management, teamwork, and to build character (Champion, Ruddell, & Thornton, 2012). Over the years, sports have gotten more and more competitive. Sports should have a positive impact on our community and serve as entertainment. If entertainment to our society is violence and causing harm to others then we are living in a messed up world. Management plays a major role in this violence by either being to tranquil in how they handle violence or even if they are encouraging the violence. When I was growing up the sports I participated in taught me about sportsmanship, character, being a good loser and winner, showing respect to others, teamwork, hard work, time management, social skills and more. My coaches played a big part in that, they made sure that we played fairly, and always played with sportsmanship. The coaches that I played under were great role models and winning did not mean anything if we didn’t do it the right way. In high school, we made it to the final four twice, won district all four years, were regional runner-ups twice and won regionals twice. We were very successful and at no point was violence being encouraged, and if there was any bad sportsmanship or violence there was always consequences. Many kids dream about playing professionally, but our professional sports are now a place where players are being paid off to cause harm to other players. When did the leagues decide that it was ok to reward players for ending someone’s career on purpose? Where did the ethics go? Management needs to reevaluate the way they operate when it comes to violence in…...

...The Role of Brands
Brands identify the source or maker of a product and allow consumers—either individuals or organizations—to assign responsibility for its performance to a particular manufacturer or distributor. Consumers may evaluate the identical product differently depending on how it is branded. They learn about brands through past experiences with the product and its marketing program, finding out which brands satisfy their needs and which do not. As consumers’ lives become more complicated, rushed, and time starved, the ability of a brand to simplify decision making and reduce risk is invaluable.4
Brands also perform valuable functions for firms.5 First, they simplify product handling or tracing. Brands help to organize inventory and accounting records. A brand also offers the firm legal protection for unique features or aspects of the product.6 The brand name can be protected through registered trademarks; manufacturing processes can be protected through patents; and packaging can be protected through copyrights and proprietary designs. These intellectual property rights ensure that the firm can safely invest in the brand and reap the benefits of a valuable asset.
Brands signal a certain level of quality so that satisfied buyers can easily choose the product again.7 Brand loyalty provides predictability and security of demand for the firm, and it creates barriers to entry that make it difficult for other firms to enter the market. Loyalty also can translate into......

...Operational Management: Roles and Goals
All organizations produce products, services, or a combination of both, regardless of size, being public or private, not-for-profit, or for-profit. Because of this, every organization has an operations function. Managing finite resources in the production and delivery of the products and services requires operational management (Slack, Chambers, & Johnston, 2010). Operations managers are the individuals responsible for this function of the organization. In health care, operations management has roles and goals in managing these resources. The ambiguity of the type of goals and focus that exists in health care can make the operations manager’s goals challenging. This is why the proper roles are critical in achieving the goals.
Goals
Health care operations management is a discipline of management that utilizes scientific or quantitative principles to determine the most productive and efficient methods of delivering patient care (Langabeer, 2008, p. 6). Health care’s organization is complex and its relationships are ambiguous. The various departments seem to be independent from one another and have competing goals, such as financial, logistical, educational, academic, societal, or community (Langabeer, 2008, p. 19 - 20). The health care operations manager’s goals have to synch these various goals to create teamwork and unity. This will allow the organization to maintain and control of costs.
There are five distinct goals...

Mintzberg Management Roles
Henry Mintzberg is a well know researcher, and the results of his studies about the work of managers were published in The Nature of Managerial Work (New York: Harper & Row, 1973). The term management roles refers to specific categories of managerial behavior, and Mintzberg concluded that what managers do, can be described by studying ten different and interrelated roles, grouped around interpersonal relationships, transfer of information, and last, but not least, decision making. For a more in depth description you should probably check Mintzberg’s work, but I’ll try to provide a general outline of his conclusions.
Interpersonal Roles
The ones that, like the name suggests, involve people and other ceremonial duties.
Leader: Responsible for training and motivation of employees.
Figurehead: The symbolic head of the organization.
Liaison: Maintains the communication between all contacts and informers that compose the organizational network.
Informational Roles
Informational role is related to collecting, receiving, and disseminating information.

...Management Roles
Organization is a social entity or group that has common goal but with the different individual functions. Organization exists to achieve goals but there is always need to set these goals, the method to achieve these goals. For this purpose we need to set management roles. So every person should know his or her responsibility on their level. Management roles comprised of interpersonal, informational and decisional roles. Let’s see how these roles work individually.
Interpersonal Role – in this role manager are responsible to maintain their dignity and social behavior so that everyone can praise him and leave the image of good and effective manager in everyone’s mind. Manager should know how to motivate and direct the employees to achieve goals. So he should have the leadership qualities in himself. Making contacts with the outside world to get the information to achieve goals is very much important part of the managerial role.
Informational Role – in this role there is interchanging of information is done. A person belongs to the organization spread knowledge about the plans and achievements to the outside world and collects feedback and information so that we can come to know about our negative things or maybe we can do better. Through this we can come to know what and how the taste of the people is changing. For example in IT, now we have cloud backup instead of room full with big head CPU’s. This change occurs because of the people......

Sachin Tendulkar: A great human being more than a great player
26th December 2004, there was the second one day match Between Bangladesh and India. The match was just about to start. A boy aged most probably ten was walking around the pavilion of Bangabandhu national stadium in Dhaka. The father of that boy was trying to feed him something but it was not ready to take. Then he asked him why not you are eating, would please tell me? He did not reply and pay attention at all. His eyes were strung on stairs towards the dressing room. Suddenly he cheered up, here is Sachin tendulkar ! After hearing the shout everyone was on their feet whether it is true or not. As soon as the boy saw him he at once agreed to eat. It is so much surprising that a sports person can make such impact on a child that he even refused to eat! But it was not so unusual to see a youngster left his food to see one of the greatest cricketers ever.
This is `how Sachin Tendulkar has made himself as the cricket god to his fans. There is nothing to tell about his batting as he has broken all the possible records he can. It will be unfair if we do not say something about his wonderful personality also. Sachin has been not just a great player but also a great human being in his entire life. The five feet five inch little man has not only conquer everyone’s mind by his blistering cover drive but he has also...

...diversity of the ten characters described in Mintzberg’s roles of management theory did not indicate a wholly separation and exclusion from one another. In my opinion, they are undividable and somehow connected to multilaterally, none of them can be labeled as useless or unnecessary element for a successful leader. The 10 roles can be categorized into three categories (interpersonal, informational, and decisional), I find my interest on two more demanding parts: interpersonal and decisional. While the quality of leadership can be learnt from essence of management, I find three of Mintzberg’s roles as most significant elements of qualifying a successful leader, which are role of Leader, role of Entrepreneur, and role of Resource Allocator.
The reason for placing Leader as the top one on my concern of a great leader is obvious. This role inquires a leader being able to direct and motivate subordinates such as employers or team members, together with the responsibility of training, equipping, and building healthy interrelationship with subordinates. In fact, this part of the role requires the leader to be capable of enrolling in every activity that involves and related to his subordinates. Communicate plays such a basic but essential role in leadership similarly to the one in any parent-children relationship. Take my family for instance, which is a standardize family in China where parents are always right and children plays the role of listener or conformer. My father and......

Roles of Management
Many organizations build their hierarchical structures based on different functional areas, so that various departments are created depending on employees’ titles, job descriptions, and responsibilities. Structuring a company based on functional areas helps achieve the organization’s goals in an efficient and effective manner. However, in any organization, managers play the most significant role and have a great impact on the company’s development and evolution. Each department or functional area within an organization has its manager who leads team members and helps them share their expertise and be oriented to do a set of specific roles. The managerial skills and capacities are very important for the sustainability of an organization especially for facing internal and external challenges in such complex and competitive times. ‘The field of management has matured greatly since the turn of the twentieth century. The evolution of management thought has clearly moved from the early process view of managerial work, which focused on the organizational activities carried out by managers (planning, organizing, controlling, and so on) to the action view emphasizing the skills needed or roles adopted by managers for effectively dealing with numerous challenges and problems confronting their organizations” (Paolillo,1987,P. 109).

Human Resources Management Roles
The human resources management (HRM) role, in aspects of the health care industry has become very difficult. Nonetheless, areas of expertise fields include such struggles as maintaining sufficient employment balance; quality study is required to assess the staffing needs. The nursing shortage has changed employment. HMR in medical centers have to become creative in examining the combination of talents needed to uphold sufficient patient care as well as increase training curricula that see past the urgent staffing requirements, (Hauff, 2007 June).
Human Resources Management’s Role
The role of the HRM includes such things as job recruitment, conducting interviews, selecting the staff, performance reviews, compensation for the job performed, performance reviews, and training the staff to do the job that was developed.

Human Resource Management’s Role in the Health Care Industry
Human Resource Management helps healthcare organizations maintain a great relationship between the employees and their organization. Human Resource department of an organization has multiple responsibilities and its primary purpose is to improve the productive contribution of people within an organization, whether it is personal or public health relations (Gómez-Mejía, Balkin, & Cardy, 2010).There are many challenges that health care organizations face when dealing with human resource management and their functioning roles. Human resource is responsible for employee selection, development, evaluation, compensation and employee relations.
Effectiveness
Human Resource Management plays a vital role in the effectiveness and success of health care organizations. Effective management of human resource departments in health care organizations is important and so are the roles and functions. Recruiting clinical and non clinical staff, providing opportunities for professional development, the upkeep of staff morale and being able to deliver quality health care services to patients are roles that human resource departments look forward to.

...The roles and functions of a manager are very important. It takes certain qualifications for someone to be a good manager. Anyone can fill the position, but in order to get the job done and be an asset to the organization there are certain roles and functions that should be followed. Healthcare management can be slightly different than other management positions. Anyone that works in the healthcare should take their job very seriously. A patient’s health is so very important, and patients put a lot of trust into healthcare staff, therefore, as a healthcare worker we need to give 100% to our job all the time.
There are three different types of manager roles. Some managers may fit in each category, while some might just fall into one. The manager roles consist of interpersonal, informational, and decisional. An interpersonal manager is one that works with and interacts with people both inside and out of the work boundaries. An informational manager is one that offers, obtains, and evaluates information. A decisional manager uses information to help solve issues, make decisions, and develop new ideas. A healthcare manager can fall into any of these categories. Healthcare managers that work in a hospital can be interpersonal, because they will probably work with other departments within the hospital. Healthcare managers also have to deal with insurance companies, other doctors and healthcare staff, billing agencies or departments, and patients. Informational and......

Management Roles
In order to understand the concept of Management Roles one would need to understand what managers do. Management roles pertain to specific categories of managerial behavior. Two businesses have been selected, one that employs less than 50 employees and one that employs over 500 employees. In researching each business a brief overview has been provided for each of the businesses, along with a brief description of the hierarchical organization, information on how the hierarchical does or does not work, why or why not. Each organization’s IT functions will be discussed as well.
It does not matter whether a business employs less than 50 employees or more than 500 employees when it comes to Managerial Roles, as all manager functions are the same, smaller businesses simply have a much smaller scale. Managers generally conduct four main functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling (Robbins & Judge, 2011), (http://ezinearticles.com/?Main-Functions-of-Management&id=4379082). Each function plays a vital role to consolidate the management in the organization. However emphasis given to each role may vary depending on the organizational level.

Many individuals may not realize how vital human resource departments are in various organizations, especially within organizations dealing with the many health care services available today. Human resource departments perform various tasks and duties to assist in maintaining proper function and control of many operations. These functional roles are performed on a daily basis and must be performed to specific and set guidelines, rules, and regulations to be the most pro-active as possible.
There are several functional roles of the human resource departments throughout every single organization. These departments are set up to Human resources, when pertaining to health care, can be defined as the different kinds of clinical and non-clinical staff responsible for public and individual health intervention. I feel that the most important of the health system inputs, the performance and the benefits the system can deliver depend largely upon the knowledge, skills and motivation of those individuals responsible for delivering health services.
As well as the balance between the human and physical resources, it is also essential to maintain an appropriate mix between the different types of health promoters and caregivers to ensure the system's success. Due to their obvious and important differences, it is vitally important that......

...What is Management?
The concept of management has acquired special significance in the present competitive and complex business world. Efficient and purposeful management is absolutely essential for the survival of a business unit. Management concept is comprehensive and covers all aspects of business. In simple words, management means utilising available resources in the best possible manner and also for achieving well defined objectives. It is a distinct and dynamic process involving use of different resources for achieving well defined objectives. The resources are: men, money, materials, machines, methods and markets. These are the six basic inputs in management process (six M's of management) and the output is in the form of achievement of objectives. It is the end result of inputs and is available through efficient management process.
The term 'management' is used extensively in business. It is the core or life giving element in business. We expect that a business unit should be managed efficiently.
